		<description>Hello,

I did a search on &#039;The Golden Stairs&#039; and found your page. Very well designed. The Golden Stairs is one of my favorite guidelines for the disciple by HPB.

I see the first step: &quot;a clean life&quot; as the foundation that any aspirant to the spiritual path should work on before getting involved in occultism. To me it means to live an ethical life. We all know what that means. In other words, to live an altruistic life and combat the selfishness that all of us carry from birth.

Quite interesting that after &quot;a clean life&quot; comes &quot;an open mind.&quot; To me it implies to be free mentally as well as in any other way. &quot;A pure heart&quot; completes the first three steps. If we try to concentrate on those main steps we have enough work to keep us occupied for several lifetimes.

That is my contribution to the blog. I&#039;ll be glad to check the site from time to time to see if others write some comments.

Thank you for your effort to build this web site.
